I found this on the Australian Website. A geezer on there was having trouble with bleeding his bleeding front brakes. He found this beauty on the end of the splitter. Is it to help with bleeding the bleeding brakes?

Can you tell what it is yet? Its a allen bolt screw.
This is from the guy who was having trouble bleeding his brakes:
"This screw has a point and seat in the body. I cracked it open while squeezeing, brake fluid ,air bubbles, brake fluid.. done! I didnt know that was there before, GS dosnt have this screw. "

I can only think it's a blank off after machining, if it was designed to bleed air out it would have a bleed nipple. if it works it'll be messy.

I concur
Nothing to stop you from fitting a bleed nipple if you can get one the right size, though
